Buy Local


Locally owned businesses help the local economy. Chain stores don't. A study done in Chicago found
For every $100 in consumer spending with a local firm, $68 remains in the comunity

Shop at Locally Owned Businesses
Buy everything, including food, from locally-owned businesses. Even better, whenever possible buy not just from local businesses but from local producers (farmers, craftsmen, manufacturers).
The more food, goods and services that are produced within your community, the more you can depend on those things continuing to be produced. Because they will require little or no transport, they will be much less dependent on oil supplies, except for that needed in their production
